Of wisdom, love, and power, | |||

Doth our Redeemer use | |||
To teach his heavenly grace! | |||

What forms of love he bears for me. | |||
Arrayed in mortal flesh, | |||
He like an angel stands, | |||
And holds the promises | |||
And pardons in his hands; | |||
Commissioned from his Father's throne | |||
To make his grace to mortals known. | |||
Great Prophet of my God, | |||
My tongue would bless thy name; | |||
By thee the joyful news | |||
Of our salvation came: | |||
The joyful news of sins forgiven, | |||
Of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.}} | |||

And through this desert land | |||
Still keep me near thy side: | |||
O let my feet ne'er run astray, | |||
Nor rove, nor seek the crooked way. | |||
I love my Shepherd's voice, | |||
His watchful eyes shall keep | |||
My wandering soul among | |||
The thousands of his sheep: | |||
He feeds his flock, he calls their names, | |||
His bosom bears the tender lambs. | |||
To this dear Surety's hand | |||
Will I commit my cause; | |||
He answers and fulfills | |||
His Father's broken laws: | |||
Behold my soul at freedom set! | |||
My Surety paid the dreadful debt. | |||
Jesus, my great High Priest, | |||
Offered his blood, and died; | |||
My guilty conscience seeks | |||
No sacrifice beside: | |||
His powerful blood did once atone, | |||
And now it pleads before the throne.}} | |||

For my defense on high; | |||
The Father bows his ears, | |||
And lays his thunder by: | |||
Not all that hell or sin can say | |||
Shall turn his heart, his love away. | |||
My dear Almighty Lord, | |||
My Conqueror and my King! | |||
Thy scepter and thy sword, | |||
Thy reigning grace I sing: | |||
Thine is the power; behold, I sit | |||
In willing bonds before thy feet. | |||
Now let my soul arise, | |||
And tread the tempter down; | |||
My Captain leads me forth | |||
To conquest and a crown: | |||
A feeble saint shall win the day, | |||
Though death and hell obstruct the way. | |||
Should all the hosts of death, | |||
And powers of hell unknown, | |||
Put their most dreadful forms | |||
Of rage and mischief on, | |||
I shall be safe, for Christ displays | |||
Superior power, and guardian grace.}} | |||
